Can you tell without dividing a number how many digits are in the quotient?
No, because a quotient requires two numbers. Given the two numbers it is quite easy to work out the number of digits in the quotient.
What does quotient of two integers mean?
an integer is any whole number for example 1, -1, 72, -72 the quotient is the answer to a division problem so the quotient of 2 integers is one whole number divided by another whole number
What is a quotient?
A quotient is the result of dividing two numbers. If we divide one number into another number, the result is the quotient. It might be argued that the quotient is the ratio of two numbers, but what has been stated applies.
Is it possible to divide one rational number by another to obtain an irrational number as a quotient?
No. Rational numbers are defined as fractions of whole numbers. Suppose we have two rational numbers A = m/n and B = p/q. Then their quotient is defined as A/B = (m*q) / (n*p). Since m,n,p and q are whole, the products m*q and n*p are whole as well, making A/B a rational number.
Is the quotient of two real numbers always a real number?
No. Not if the second number is zero.
